That's the thing, I don't know. Nowhere does the packaging state any ratings. I guesstimated about 3600mAh because of the way it performs in my professional digital camera (I have a 3600mAh proprietary battery for the camera and it performs identically). If anyone who picks up one of these units has the capability to rate it, I'd be more than interested to know what the real deal is!

As for the 10% tolerance (5v vs. 5.4v), the only noticeable thing is that you get a little (a very little) bit of heat from the voltage dropping unit that is between the battery and the Axim, because the Axim is trying to draw more power than the unit wants to put out (you can almost relate it to "overclocking" a CPU). But then I get a little warmth out of my Dell wall charger too, so I don't think there is anything to worry about.
